Father's day

Champy and I have thought so much how to demonstrate to daddy how much we appreciate his care  and how much is priceless the fact that he give us everything we need, but we still do not find a way to say thank you Daddy!.

How can we thank him if after a long and stressful day at work, he stops to buy a bag of carrots?, for any person this is silly, but for us  carrots are the greater delight of the world, and it’s great when your dad believes those little are important.

How can thank we thank him to join us for a walk at night?, he doesn’t like when we walk  only with mom if it’s dark, but we need  to enjoy the last poop of the day and watering plants to keep fresh during the night . No matter how much work he has, or if he worked 18 hours or if he must continue working, when it's time for that last walk, he always has the patience to take us to the Park.

How can we thank him when he take us to the doctor and pay all our medicines?. Sometimes things are not on the agenda, however, he find the way to take us to the vet no matter the day or time, he pays for our expensive medicines, he sometimes drives to a particular pharmacy on the other side of the city, only to  have what we need. He keeps us quiet when it’s necessary, he learns the procedures, and tenderly embraces us when we feel bad. He suffers and he is careful with the needles to not hurting us, but in his heart he knows that we are going to heal, to have even more smiles together.

How could we show him our happiness with our playful moments?, because when he arrives from work, he always has one minute to play or to greet us and ask us how we behave during the day. He sometimes throw a toy to Champy or runs with him around the living room. Sometimes he touches my ear and then another when I trying to find him. Sometimes he acts like me and makes laugh to mom so much. That makes us feel that he is with us.

How can we  forget the hard days?, those occasions when any other person would be more than upset with life, like  when we wake up at 3 in the morning covered with poop and he  gets up to help mom  to give us  warm bath, dry us, and take us to walk to finish the special delivery of the bone that we should not eat in just few minutes. We know that anyone else would have closed the door to not smell us, but dad still laughs when he remembers how nice life is. After all sometimes he needs a good story to tell.

There is no hug to tell him how happy makes us when we takes us to visit our grandparents. 8 hours of driving if we don’t stop to water the grass at a place where we have not been before. Sometimes he plans our stops, but sometimes our stomach does not read the email where it was indicated the travel plan, and although he can complaint a little, he always is looking for the best place where we can stop and pee.

There is no kiss that tells him how much we like to sleep with him, knowing that nothing can hurt us, he will be there to take care of us and no matter the time, if something try to hurts us, it will turn the light to give us relief.

So even now we do not know how to thank him for all his love and patience, even though I cannot see, I know that he still loves me, like the first day we met, as the first time that took to Champ in his arms. 

He will be my ears and my eyes to care for me. He will be always happy to enjoy walks with Champy.

Thanks daddy!, we promise more adventures, laughs, poops and gases when you are enjoying so much the TV.

Thank you for find a place t our toys too!.

We will not stop asking for carrots!

With all our love

Bubu & Champy.
